Prosecutors Won't Pursue Battery Charge Against Dolphins' Ryan Crow, Who Remains on Leave From Team
Prosecutors cited lack of victim cooperation and insufficient evidence as reasons for declining misdemeanor domestic battery charges against Dolphins coach Ryan Crow.
- Ryan Crow, the Miami Dolphins' outside linebackers coach, was taken into custody on August 28 on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge following a dispute with his live-in girlfriend at their Fort Lauderdale residence.
- The dispute occurred after the couple returned from a Dolphins work party where they had been drinking, centering on Crow's relationship with his estranged wife.
- Multiple witnesses reported a physical altercation, and video footage was obtained, but neither clearly proved a battery occurred without victim cooperation, who was uncooperative and opposed charges.
- Crow's lawyer Michael Gottlieb stated, "They found that there's no reasonable likelihood of conviction," and prosecutors formally declined to pursue charges on Wednesday.
- Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Crow remains on administrative leave pending league investigation, with no immediate change to his team status despite the dropped charges.
